Current Space Initiatives How do we make better use of current space and find new space for continuing increase in classes? • Class Scheduling Policy • Requires better use of non-prime times • Red/Green “grade report” out soon • School of Dentistry • Possibilities for evening classes • School of Medicine • Possibilities for Public Health classes • Renovation of Cavanaugh Basement • Possible additional classrooms
Additional Space Improvements • R & R Funding • Covers renovation, carpeting, paint, etc. (not furnishings) • Lecture Hall rooms • Business 2002 and BS 2008 • Learning Environments Committee • Grant proposals to be reviewed • Two submitted by Registrar’s Office
What You Can Do Adhere to Scheduling Policies Make best use of department-controlled space Monitor (and possibly move) low enrolling courses Spread the word for better understanding if a class is scheduled “across campus” Other space options, alternatives, creative ideas?
